Features: This is a hardboiled fantasy novel from China. Brutal and grand war scenes, intricate psychological battles; elegant and fluid writing, realistic war descriptions; rigorous structure, rich character portrayals. Four years of sharpening the sword have resulted in this landmark fantasy war work. To this day, none have surpassed it in the genre of fantasy war novels. Perhaps in the future, when people mention the so-called fantasy war novels, only one or two will be brought up. But among those nominations, "Knight" will definitely be one! The reason is simple: although it is not entirely realistic, and although it still fails to fully portray the dark side of war, compared to the others, it has already shown enough.
Just after leaving the "Mischief Trio," Fap and his friend Magula step out of the forest and join the army for survival. However, they encounter a domestic rebellion and, by chance, become the leader of a refugee army. From then on, they fight and lose repeatedly. But among this group of makeshift soldiers are one-dimensional thinkers, treacherous ambushers, pointless vagrants, and sadistic individuals, as well as a female army doctor with a strong tendency toward violence. Can their marginal strategy—high-salary tactics, spy networks, German-style bribery techniques, and psychological warfare—defeat the three great cavalry groups, restore peace to the New Continent, and establish their own nation? What will happen to the fate of the "Nine Knights"?
